A...Lots of food for thought around here. (giggle)<br /><br />Around my childhood home we could never have two pieces of meat, according to my mother, or risk bad dreams at night. Hmmmm . . . recently she told us that she was told this by her mom (they were REALLY poor when she was growing up) and she believed it up until a few years ago. YIKES! I never believed it . . . I knew we were just too poor for more than one piece of meat per meal.<br /><br />My kids eat chocolate every day (dark and delicious kind of course) and can eat as much watermelon as they like (even the white -- though the chickens really like that part). I did tell them that donuts make your heart explode . . . they didn't believe me for a second (they saw the smirk) but since they never had a donut at home they never developed taste buds for them. <br /><br />Now I'M off to find two dark-delicious-loaded-with-anti-oxidants candy bars. I'm just trying to stay healthy! ; DDebbie in CA : )https://www.blogger.com/profile/07473719745707917057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-76134329345400644782009-08-13T17:07:45.451-06:002009-08-13T17:07:45.451-06:00This made me realize that I haven't had waterm...This made me realize that I haven't had watermelon at all this summer!Kristina P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16144488639100871226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-87580824559735500542009-08-13T15:17:50.098-06:002009-08-13T15:17:50.098-06:00Hi, Connie,
I don't remember if my mom said I ...Hi, Connie,<br />I don't remember if my mom said I could only have one piece, but I do remember I ate my piece right down to the rind, too. Like you, now when I buy a watermelon, I eat as much as I want and yes, right down to the rind, can't miss one little bite of that delicious melon. Now, my mom was a chocaholic <br />just like me. So. . .when we bought candy bars, we usually ate at least 2 a piece and maybe 3. Come visit me at Bunny Cottage. Sending happy wishes your way.

If you ate only the heart of the melon and left alot on there....if you didnt grow it yourself and paid for it, money is wasted. So I think thats why we all went thru those kind of rules. And I think in this day and age with the economy hurting we will be hearing more of it for sure. But honestly now and then having exactly what you want, cant hurt. Everything in moderation.....including gluttony lol :)seanymphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396429978477892522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-89144723855595140992009-08-13T10:25:10.533-06:002009-08-13T10:25:10.533-06:00This had me chuckling.

I didn't eat too much watermelon growing up....I wonder if that's why.<br /><br />BTW, I never would have thought you were in your 7th decade. You seem much younger.

I was told the seeds would start growing in my tummy if I swallowed them - of course I had several pregnant aunts that father would point to when he said this. It sure scared me! I would much rather have the melon with seeds, at least I can spit those out - can't do a thing with those white seeds.BrushedByAnAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732643196752807876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-16595690502881275622009-08-13T07:11:42.180-06:002009-08-13T07:11:42.180-06:00You go Girl!You go Girl!Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346440082006209273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-13622867006976003192009-08-13T07:09:55.973-06:002009-08-13T07:09:55.973-06:00Hi Connie~ I always get a chuckle out of your post...Hi Connie~ I always get a chuckle out of your posts!
